Jeremy I. Hebb

Jeremy I. Hebb serves as a Contracting Officer for the 4th Combat Communications Squadron (FA4809) under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical communications systems and support infrastructure essential to air operations readiness. His portfolio encompasses the procurement of secure radio and broadcast equipment, aircraft subsystems, and specialized cybersecurity services, ensuring resilient, tamper-resistant communication networks for deployed and contingency operations. Hebb plays a pivotal role in aligning contracting actions with Air Force modernization priorities, applying FAR and DFARS compliance to complex technical acquisitions requiring stringent security and interoperability standards. Hebb maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Solomon Engineering, Inc., Textron Systems Corporation, and Western Metal Supply Company, Inc., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade communications hardware and specialized fabrication. His contracting patterns indicate strong collaboration with firms capable of delivering customized, ruggedized equipment and integrated systems under tight operational timelines. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and technical alignment with the squadron’s evolving mission needs, particularly in secure RF systems and field-deployable infrastructure. His set-aside preferences reveal a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a smaller but consistent portion allocated to HUBZone firms. While over half of his contracts remain open to all competitors, Hebb demonstrates a deliberate and sustained commitment to expanding small business participation, particularly among firms with niche capabilities in defense communications and security services. His primary NAICS focus lies in 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, followed by 561621 for security systems services, underscoring his technical expertise in secure RF architectures, signal integrity, and hardened infrastructure. He also regularly procures roofing and facility support services under 238160 to maintain operational site integrity, reflecting the squadron’s hybrid mission of technical and physical readiness.
